“…Cold therapy has been used regularly as an immediate treatment to induce analgesia following acute soft tissue injuries, however, a prolonged ice application has proved to delay the start of the healing and lengthen the recovery process. 16 The injection of tumescent fluid and severe sweat glands injuries promote the formation of swelling which restricts the recovery process. Therefore, the appropriate time point and duration of cold compress are important factors.…”

Axillary hyperhidrosis (AH) and bromhidrosis are common complaints in Asians for consultation in dermatology. A microwave-based device has gradually become a first option option during this decade because of the safety and efficacy both for AH and osmidrosis. Other complications reported are transient median and ulnar neuropathy and brachial plexus injury with sensory and motor dysfunction. We herein report a rare case of subcutaneous tissue necrosis with fat liquefaction, hematoma that occurred after microwave-based treatment. It took 3 weeks for both sides to recover completely. The case prompt us that one pass treatment for the same treatment area and cooling to relieve the pain for 24 h. Appropriate restriction of movement should be emphasized within 1 month after treatment. Moreover, caution is needed when bumps enlarged rapidly. How to cite this article: Zhang B, Huang L.

“…Despite the longstanding popularity of applying ice in sport injury management, the evidence for its use in humans is limited; however, Guillot and colleagues were able to show a positive impact of ice application upon inflammatory cytokines (Guillot et al 2017 , 2019 ). Nevertheless, recent literature has questioned the use of traditional cold therapy in the early phases of soft-tissue injury (Wang and Ni 2021 ) or suggests the removal of ice altogether in the management of soft-tissue injuries (Dubois and Esculier 2020 ). Consequently, the acronyms of PEACE (protection, elevation, avoid anti-inflammatory drugs, compression, and education) and LOVE (load, optimism, vascularization, and exercise) have emerged (Dubois and Esculier 2020 ).…”

Cold for centuries: a brief history of cryotherapies to improve health, injury and post-exercise recovery

et al. 2022

For centuries, cold temperatures have been used by humans for therapeutic, health and sporting recovery purposes. This application of cold for therapeutic purposes is regularly referred to as cryotherapy. Cryotherapies including ice, cold-water and cold air have been popularised by an ability to remove heat, reduce core and tissue temperatures, and alter blood flow in humans. The resulting downstream effects upon human physiologies providing benefits that include a reduced perception of pain, or analgesia, and an improved sensation of well-being. Ultimately, such benefits have been translated into therapies that may assist in improving post-exercise recovery, with further investigations assessing the role that cryotherapies can play in attenuating the ensuing post-exercise inflammatory response. Whilst considerable progress has been made in our understanding of the mechanistic changes associated with adopting cryotherapies, research focus tends to look towards the future rather than to the past. It has been suggested that this might be due to the notion of progress being defined as change over time from lower to higher states of knowledge. However, a historical perspective, studying a subject in light of its earliest phase and subsequent evolution, could help sharpen one’s vision of the present; helping to generate new research questions as well as look at old questions in new ways. Therefore, the aim of this brief historical perspective is to highlight the origins of the many arms of this popular recovery and treatment technique, whilst further assessing the changing face of cryotherapy. We conclude by discussing what lies ahead in the future for cold-application techniques.

“…В настоящее время применяется большое количество низкотемпературных технологий (НТ), которые могут быть разделены на две группы: технологии, в которых используются умеренно низкие температурные воздействия (от -30°С до +20°С), и технологии применения экстремально низких температур (от -30°С до -180°С). Наиболее ярким представителем НТ в медицинской реабилитации является экстремальная аэрокриотерапия (ЭАКТ) [6][7][8].…”

The mechanisms of increasing the resistance of cells to significant temperature and damaging effects are typical, and cellular tolerance, ensuring the effectiveness of systemic regulation, is an important part of increasing the adaptive and rehabilitative potential of the entire organism. The expression of early genes encoding a wide range of stress-protective proteins increases the resistance of cells not only to significant temperature stimuli, but also to ischemia, hypoxia, and other damaging factors, forming the effects of cross-adaptation. Even a small change in temperature is significant enough to trigger the processes of genomic reprogramming. It seems to us important to consider the mechanisms of low-temperature therapeutic and rehabilitation technologies from the standpoint of cellular response to temperature stimuli. Currently, a large number of low temperature technologies (HT) are used in medical rehabilitation, which can be divided into two groups: moderately low temperature effects (from 30C to +20C) and extremely low temperature effects (from 30C to 180C), which includes the technology of extreme aerocriotherapy (EACT). The purpose of the review is to analyze the systemic and local mechanisms of EACT implemented with the participation of the main known stress-protective proteins.
